RESOURCES—Fruit Growing

Nothing quite compares to that sharp tartness of the spring Rhubarb or the soft acidic sweetness of the first Raspberry’s, no shop bought  fruit ever comes close and with new cultivars the season for some soft fruit is now longer than ever.

The new root stocks and growing techniques also mean that even the smallest garden now has room for a productive fruit tree either free standing or against a fence or wall,no longer do we have to wait years for fruit trees to become productive and after all if you want to put a tree into your new garden why not make it a productive on.

How to plant Blackcurrants

In my film I plant Blackcurrants and talk about the differences  of ‘bare-root coir pot or pot grown’ how to plant them to ensure success and the varieties I like best,and planting one of the modern variety’s with much larger fruit

This really is a great fruit to grow as its versatile in the kitchen making a fantastic jam,wonderful sorbet or even your own juice

In this film I show you my technique for successfully germinating chilli seeds.  I have found over the years that the attention to detail pays off and gives you a much higher percentage of germination with what can be quite a tricky vegetable.
